Trans Siberian Power
HiThis website http://www.transsiberian.com.au/itinerary/cabins_trans_siberian.html shows a TV in First Class compartments on the Rossiya. Two questions, Is this standard and if so does that mean that you can unplug the TV and use the power socket?
Thanks

In the few cases where I've been in a Russian train compartment with a TVbut no other power outlets, then the TV power cable was carefully buried away
so you couldn't get directly at its power outlet. (I've tried!)
On the other hand I was in a first class compartment on the Rossiya a couple
of years ago and there were convenient power outlets, even although there
was no TV.
There seems to be a lot of variation, but in general I've noticed that nowadays
it seems very likely to find power outlets in any first class compartment.

Branded trains are ones with names like Red Arrow, Baikaler, Rossiya, etc They tend to offer more services, have newer cars and cost more.There are lots of 02 trains, one leaving from almost every station in Moscow and there are quite a few train stations. The 002 to where? The Rossiya to Vladivostok departs Moscow on odd days and leaves at 23:45 from the Yaroslavskaya station, the 002 to Kazan departs Moscow Kazanskaya station daily at 22:08. There is also a 002 daily from Riga and one from Kyiv as well.
I think there is something wrong with the information that you have presented as I can't find any 002 train departing Moscow at 21:25. Were are you going? and what date are you traveling?
BTW some trains operate certain days of the week and some operate on odd days only or even days only and some are seasonal.
